The Gleeks Beat the King: Glee Passes Elvis to Set Billboard Singles Record

The cast of Glee is just as good at breaking records as they are at making them.

Despite debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 chart less than two years, Glee has surpassed music royalty — including Elvis, the Rolling Stones and the Beatles — to set the record for the most charted songs by an act in the list’s 52-year history.

Six of the cast’s new singles debuted today on the Hot 100, bringing their total chart-topping tally to 113 hits, beating Elvis Presley’s previous record of 108 songs. Lea Michele’s version of Katy Perry’s “Firework” (which was recently number one on the Hot 100) debuted today as the highest song ever for the cast at number 34.
